EVs adoption adds stress to an already overstressed power grid. The grid needs to be improved if we want EV charging to be available to the masses. It's not FUD, it's just obvious.
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoThe grid needs improvement constantly always anyways. My point is that the specific grid related needs of EVs are not the roadblock to their adoption. My point is that: A far more serious problem for the grid is increasing temperatures and heat waves and the demands that increased AC puts on it. So in terms of emphasis ... "the grid" as a talking point about EV adoption is mostly thrown up as a smoke screen to discourage their adoption. And it is intellectually dishonest.
